Time Trials

Time Trials

Why ride time trials?
Why put yourself through that kind of pain and effort — the heart rate hovering just below maximum, the legs burning from start to finish?
Because the benefits are worth it.

Why You Should Ride Time Trials

  • Build Power and Endurance:
    Time trials are excellent training for road races and criteriums. They develop your power base and raise your anaerobic threshold.

  • Push Your Limits:
    A time trial effort is one of the longest, most intense intervals you can perform — and it’s hard to replicate that kind of sustained power on your own.

  • Race in a Safe Environment:
    Time trials offer a competitive, yet controlled setting — no pack dynamics, just you against the clock.

  • Better Chances for a Podium:
    Smaller field sizes often mean greater opportunities for medals and personal bests.

  • Stay Fit and Fast as You Age:
    The high-intensity work that comes with time trial training is one of the best ways to maintain and even improve performance over time.
